《神鬼寓言》重启版再度延期，为避开《GTA6》锋芒延至2027年2月

微软旗下Playground Games开发的经典Xbox奇幻RPG系列重启之作《神鬼寓言》，近日宣布再度跳票。原定于2026年秋季发售的游戏，将推迟至2027年2月上市。Xbox官方在社交媒体上表示，此举是为了“让游戏获得应有的专注时刻”，给予开发团队更多时间进行打磨，同时也能巧妙避开预定于2026年11月19日发售的《侠盗猎车手6》的“冲击波”。

这并非该重启项目的首次延期。微软指出，2026年下半年游戏市场竞争异常激烈，大作云集，包括《使命召唤：现代战争4》、《控制：共鸣》以及上述的《GTA6》。将《神鬼寓言》移至2027年，而非与这些备受期待的作品正面交锋，有望为其赢得更多发光发热的空间。不过，此举也意味着本就漫长的开发周期进一步拉长。该项目最早于2020年公布，直到2026年1月微软才首次展示实机画面。从公布到发售，整个开发周期将长达七年，这还未计入项目正式公开前的筹备工作。

尽管延期，但微软透露将在6月7日的Xbox游戏展示会上公布该作的“重大新面貌”。此外，与今年早些时候公布的信息一致，这款游戏将登陆Xbox Series X/S、PC（Steam和Xbox平台）、Game Pass Ultimate，以及PlayStation 5平台。

《神鬼寓言》再次跳票避开《GTA6》。这款经典Xbox系列的重启之作现定于2027年2月发售。由Playground Games开发的Xbox奇幻角色扮演系列重启作《神鬼寓言》已宣布延期。根据Xbox在X平台发布的公告，游戏发售日期从2026年秋季调整至2027年2月，"以确保它能获得应有的专属亮相时段"。新的发售日期不仅让开发者有更多时间打磨游戏品质，也使其避开了《侠盗猎车手6》的冲击波——后者已定于11月19日发行。

这并非该重启作首次延期。正如微软在公告中所言，2026年下半年重磅作品云集，包括《使命召唤：现代战争4》《控制：共振》以及前述的《GTA6》。将《神鬼寓言》推迟至2027年，而非与这些备受期待的作品正面竞争，反而能为这款游戏创造更充分的发光空间。不过，这也意味着本已漫长的开发周期进一步拉长。该重启作最初于2020年公布，直到今年1月微软才展示了实机游玩画面。这意味着从公布到发售，《神鬼寓言》的开发周期将长达七年，而这很可能尚未计入项目正式公布前的筹备工作。

"今年是Xbox玩家尽享重磅游戏的一年，从《光环：战役进化》《战争机器：E-Day》《使命召唤：现代战争4》，到《控制：共振》《星球大战：银河赛车》和《侠盗猎车手6》。为合理规划我们的游戏发行档期……"（推文内容截图略）

在2026年早期的展示会上，微软演示了《神鬼寓言》精细的角色创建系统及对NPC模拟的宏大构想。公司同时透露，该游戏将登陆PlayStation 5、Xbox Series X/S、PC（Steam/Xbox/Game Pass Ultimate）。虽然《神鬼寓言》今年无缘面世，但微软表示将在6月7日的Xbox游戏展示会上公布该作的"重大全新面貌"。

Fable dodges GTA VI with another delay
The reboot of the classic Xbox series is now coming out in February 2027.
Fable, a reboot of the Xbox fantasy RPG series developed by Playground Games, has been delayed. The game's release date is shifting from fall 2026 to February 2027 "so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves," according to a post from Xbox on X. The new release date will give developers more time to polish the game before it comes out, while also moving it out of the blast radius of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is scheduled for release on November 19.
This isn't the first time the reboot has been delayed, and as Microsoft notes in its announcement post, the back half of the year is particularly stacked with big releases like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Control Resonant and the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto VI. Moving to 2027 rather than duking it out with those more hotly anticipated titles could give Fable more time to shine. It does make a long development cycle even longer than it was before, though. The Fable reboot was originally announced in 2020, and Microsoft didn't share proper gameplay footage of the game until January of this year. That means from announcement to release, Fable will have taken seven years to make, and that's likely not taking into account work that went into the project ahead of its original announcement.
This is year is packed with incredible games for XBOX players to enjoy, from Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 to Control Resonant, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Grand Theft Auto VI.

During its earlier 2026 showcase, Microsoft demoed Fable's detailed character creator and ambitious approach to simulating NPCs. The company also shared that the game would be available on PlayStation 5, alongside Xbox Series X/S, PC via Steam and Xbox and Game Pass Ultimate. While Fable won't be available this year, Microsoft says it will show off "a major new look" at the game during its Xbox Games Showcase on June 7.
